So sorry to hear this. Do you mean it was stolen from you or you lost it?
As for the photos, I've heard this many times that people losing phones say they've lost all their holiday photos etc but, I know it won't help you with the photos you've just lost, but there is a way to have all your photos from your phone automatically backed up in future to your computer/Laptop. It's free to use https://photos.google.com/ and it's brilliant! It's easy to download too. You will never lose a photo again. Each time you are in a Wifi zone, Google will back up all the photos you have taken and they will be on your laptop or main computer at home. I have it and have hundreds of photos on there and I know whatever might happen to my phone the photos will never be lost.
The other thing to maybe have in future, if you haven't already used it, is Prey - It's a free anti-theft app that lets you track and locate your lost or stolen iPhone & iPad:

I hope you do manage to get your bag back.
Good luck.
